吴文静

2022年度“创意先锋奖”,具备扎实的英语功底,专注商科和化学材料大类的英文文书写作,从专业的视角为学生提供个性化的文书写作服务,以认真负责的态度陪伴每一位学员,帮助学生斩获港、澳、新、英等多国名校录取。

 

我们的许多学员在准备不同方向申请项目的个人陈述时,基于同一段经历准备的写作素材大都是一样的,往往是对于科研或者实习内容的罗列,而忽略了不同项目的侧重点。为此,我认为针对同一经历在不同申请方向的PS中,应当基于申请项目内容来深入挖掘其经历,从而呈现出与申请项目相契合的内容

 

学员背景:文书中提及的学员本科主修英语,辅修ACCA,毕业后在安永会计师事务所工作,因此定位为工作后留学,所以在PS中重点突出工作经历(无论是从篇幅上还是写作顺序上),弱化了本科背景。

 

今天#心动的文书#栏目,老师就跟大家分享一下如何通过描写自己的经历来突出自己的优势,表达自己对该专业和未来的热情和追求,从而吸引招生官。(下划线加粗为好词好句,大家可以收藏积累哦~

 

 

PS Sample

 

 

Attending courses set by my undergraduate minor degree—ACCA changed my stereotype of accounting.【本科辅修ACCA改变了对会计学的刻板印象】Through the teacher’s vivid explanations on the cases close to life, I became increasingly aware that accounting was not only limited to accounts, but also focused on collecting, analysing and interpreting the financial information, as well as researching the application of accounting standards in different industries. Since then, I have realised that accounting is a discipline worthy of further exploration. What especially sparked my keen interest, and solidified my determination to pursue higher education in this field was my working experience at Ernst & Young Hua Ming LLP after graduating from university.【毕业后在安永的工作经历进一步激发了我对会计领域的兴趣,并下定决心深造】It is noteworthy that I was pleasantly surprised by accounting information’s role in revealing the impact of social events, policies and technology on enterprises and even the whole industry’s growth, except for reflecting an enterprise’ operating results and financial status. Therefore, I was convinced that accurate interpretation of financial data is crucial for a financial practitioner. Knowing this, I have determined to pursue higher education in accountancy to cultivate my data sensitivity and enrich my expertise, so as to provide support for enterprise decision-making from an accounting perspective.

 

兴趣起源中紧密围绕和会计相关的经历来展开描述,首先是本科阶段辅修ACCA的经历改变了对会计学科的刻板印象,对会计学科有了进一步认识,提出观点:会计学科值得深入探索;接着毕业后在会计师事务所的工作经历进一步激发了我对会计领域的浓厚兴趣,并阐述接触到实际的审计工作后对会计这一学科的认识,基于以上认识,决心在会计领域深造。

 

Tips: 在PS中,特别是申请动机陈述时,应该以“我”为主,从“我”出发,多阐述你对申请学科的认识和看法~

 

As mentioned, working at Ernst & Young Hua Ming LLP greatly deepened my understanding of accounting while allowing me to identify what I genuinely favour for and aspire to take as a lifelong career.【在会计师事务所的工作经历大大加深了“我”对会计的理解,也让“我”找到了自己真正喜欢和渴望的终身职业,为下段引出职业规划做铺垫】There, working as an assistant auditor initially, I was quickly and acutely aware that being an excellent auditor needed to perform well in completing audit procedures and writing analysis reports, and to keep taking in knowledge in accounting and economics and develop my soft power. Hence, I took the initiative to probe into HKFRS and the PRC National Standard to gain more expertise, and taught myself SQL to improve my efficiency in data processing and cleaning.【自主学习意识并付诸行动】Shortly thereafter, with my earnest working attitude and distinguished capacity, I won high praise from my manager and partners, which resulted in being assigned more challenging tasks. Notably, I was promoted to Senior Auditor as a result of my high performance in 2021 and served as the field in charge of the audit team.【工作期间得到提升】During my leadership, I kept perfecting the audit plan, led members to implement the audit procedures in an orderly fashion, and accurately controlled the project’s progress. With the joint efforts of our team, the project was successfully delivered.【工作中的领导力得到体现】In retrospect, although I have achieved some great things in the field of auditing, I know very well that mastery of systematic and professional accounting knowledge will be crucial to my career success.【结尾处承上启下,虽然取得了一些成就,但是系统专业的会计知识是职业成功的先决条件,可以顺理成章引出下文的职业规划】

 

紧接在申请动机后介绍工作经历,特别是工作含金量比较高时可以怎么搭建写作框架,优先向招生官介绍申请者的亮点内容;

 

Tips: 另外一点值得参考的写作思路就是在介绍工作经历时除了介绍具体的工作内容,也可以切换思路,从多个角度(如这里的工作中的自主学习意识和执行力、领导认可、工作晋升、领导力)切入,说明你的突出工作表现,至于具体的工作内容招生官可从建立中获取

 

Therefore, another motivation of mine for graduate study is to achieve my professional aspirations.【因此,读研也是为了实现职业规划。接着展开描述职业规划】Looking forward, I expect to get involved in financial due-diligence in a top-tier accounting firm such as PwC or Deloitte. Such positions require practitioners to implement rigorous procedures on the target’s financial data, business development and internal and external environments, so as to support investment decisions. Considering that this work, to some extent, is related to my previous audit work, I can make full use of my past work experience and expertise obtained through graduate studies to proactively participate in various projects and devote myself to forecasting the target’s prospects with the help of analytical tools such as trend analysis and structural analysis. Meanwhile, I will look to pass the CICPA and AICPA examinations to upgrade my expertise. As for my long-term goal, I plan to acquire the CFA and continue to engage in financial due-diligence, with the aim of becoming an expert skilled at gaining insights from financial information and ensuring correct investment decisions made by organisations.

 

Tips: 长短期职业规划描写也可以涉及多个方面,比如说这里提到的未来工作对于“我”知识和技能的要求以及如何应对,或者介绍你向往的工作内容,你计划在未来工作中取得进步的具体领域,辅以如何实现这些职业目标


Based on my personal and professional objectives, I have reviewed many advanced study programmes. Among them, I believe that the Master of Accountancy provided by Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) is the optimal choice for me.【为实现上述的个人目标(学术兴趣)和职业目标(职业规划),我深入了解了很多研究生项目,其中贵校的项目最为吸引我,继而陈述具体的择校原因】As one of the top universities in the world, CUHK attracts academic elites and industry experts from various disciplines, and enjoys a rigorous learning atmosphere and abundant educational resources, which means I will receive guidance from top-class faculty and have access to practical application skills and relevant experience in the real world. Moreover, I am most interested in your well-designed curriculum covers a wide range of topics like accounting, auditing, financial management and taxation, which is regularly updated to reflect current market trends. Through your methodical training, I believe I will acquire broad knowledge reserve in accounting while possessing distinguished analytical techniques and practical ability, preparing myself well for future development. On top of all that, the opportunity to undertake internships with established accounting firms in Hong Kong and mainland China, including Deloitte, Ernst & Young, KPMG and PricewaterhouseCoopers, offered by this programme is also an important reason that attracts me to study at CUHK.

 

择校原因可以从多方面展开,比如说这里从学校层面、课程设置、以及实习机会三个角度介绍的,其实可写的维度远远不止这些,有选择性地列举2到3条即可。

 

Tips: 除了从官网中可以获得的有关项目和学校介绍的客观信息,也可以从自身经历出发,写出个性化的择校原因,比如说本科期间参加的科研项目和申请院校某位教授的研究方向一致,希望有机会展开更多交流。

 

The multiple advantages make it a fierce competition to gain your admission; still, I believe I can be a qualified candidate. Particularly, my minor in ACCA has equipped me with basic accounting, taxation and financial knowledge that will function as stepping stones for me to reach higher in the field of accounting. Also, teaching myself the knowledge of auditing and strategy in CPA introduced me to audit procedures and norms, strategy and risk management, etc.【本科阶段会计学相关的学习背景】Additionally, my undergraduate background in English has greatly improved my language competence, enabling me to adapt to the English-based instruction adopted by overseas institutions.【突出一下英语技能,毕竟本科主修专业】Moreover, my participation in the 5th National College Students’ ‘Internet +’ Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition supported my progress in several aspects. For this, I led my teammates to complete the BJD Doll Clothing Studio project, where our teammates performed their own duties under my reasonable division of work and coordination to decide on target consumer groups, sales channels, and product styles according to relevant sales data and consumer preference statistics. Encouragingly, our efforts rewarded us with the Excellence Award and a 2,000 RMB sponsorship. Through this experience, I became deeply aware that it is vital to flexibly apply theoretical knowledge to direct practice, instead of blindly executing a given plan. Meanwhile, serving as the team leader greatly exercised my communication skills and overall management capability, which I believe will be of benefit to my future studies and work.【商赛经历,体现领导力、知识应用能力等】

 

本科阶段的课内学习这部分内容在PS中一般简单介绍,占用较小篇幅,主要为陈述自己具备该领域的教育背景~至于更为具体的信息,招生官可从递交的申请材料中包含的英文成绩单来获取,所以这部分内容不用大写特写;另外一点要注意的是英文PS中不建议经历堆砌,内容越多,反而就没有重点,以上通过详略的方式呈现出来工作和商赛经历,无论是从学生申请定位还是从经历的含金量来看,都表明工作经历更值得花更多篇幅来介绍

 

In closing, I want to reiterate my qualifications and desire for my intended programme. I sincerely hope you can allow me to study and make progress at your university. Thank you.【简单总结】
